Inhaltsangabe

Materials metrology is the measurement science used for determining materials property data. An essential element is the symbiosis between the understanding of materials behaviour and the development of suit able measurement techniques which, through the provision of stand ards, enable design engineers and plant operators to acquire materials data of appropriate precision. This book is concerned only with those aspects of materials metrology and standards that relate to the design and performance in service ofstructuresand consumerproducts. Itdoes not consider their important role in the processing ofmaterials. Theeditorsare grateful for thecommitmentand patience oftheexperts who contributed the various chapters. In addition, help from staffin the Division ofMaterials Metrology, National Physical Laboratory,inassist ing with the task of refereeing the chapters is gratefully acknowledged. The production of this book was carried out as part of the Materials Measurement Programme of underpinning research financed by the United Kingdom Department ofTrade and Industry. Brian F.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This is the first book devoted solely to the topic of materials metrology, the science underpinning the measurement of materials property data. State-of-the-art knowledge is presented concerning a variety of the more important measurement methods and testing standards that relate to the design and performance of consumer products, load-bearing structures and transport systems. With the current trend towards harmonization of testing standards on a worldwide basis, Materials Metrology and Standards for Structural Performance will prove invaluable to a wide audience, from testing-machine manufacturers to researchers in mechanical engineering and materials science and technology.
